Dr Shweta Arora’s dedication to her field is reflected in her ongoing contributions to research. She has published several articles, including a review on ‘MDR Tuberculosis in the Elderly’ in the ‘Indian Journal of Tuberculosis’ and an original article on ‘Clinical Utility of Diaphragmatic Ultrasound’ in the ‘Journal of Advanced Lung Health’. She is also on the editorial board of the ‘Archives of Respiratory Research’ and has been invited as an expert faculty member to speak at national conferences.
She is currently working as a Consultant in the Department of Pulmonary, Sleep, & Critical Care at Primus Hospital in Delhi. Her academic achievements, coupled with her extensive practical experience, make Dr Shweta Arora a highly skilled and respected leader in the field of Pulmonology and Critical Care.
Holistic & Patient-Centered Approach to Pulmonology
Dr Shweta Arora emphasizes the importance of a patient-centered, holistic approach in the treatment of respiratory and pulmonary conditions. She believes that each patient is unique, and treatment should be customized based on their specific needs, pathophysiology, and response to therapy. Pulmonology is not just about addressing respiratory diseases but also involves understanding how the lungs interact with other systems, like the heart and nervous system. For complex cases like asthma, COPD overlap, or allergic triggers, she carefully tailors her approach to ensure the best outcomes. With advancements in precision medicine, Dr Shweta Arora is committed to integrating newer treatments, such as biologics, into patient care, ensuring minimal complications.
She also emphasizes the growing role of critical care in pulmonology, where the management of critically ill patients requires understanding of multiple systems and swift emergency care. Dr Shweta Arora's approach highlights the importance of ongoing research, adapting to new modalities, and providing personalized care to improve patient outcomes in Pulmonology and Critical Care.
Strive to Improving Diagnosis & Patient Care
Technology has significantly transformed the field of pulmonology, improving both diagnostics and treatment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role by analyzing large datasets, including lab results, patient histories, and radiology images like chest X-rays and CT scans. AI algorithms help diagnose conditions like COPD, lung cancer, and interstitial lung diseases with increased accuracy. In critical care, AI-powered ventilators, like Neo Ganesh, assist in better weaning and extubation, reducing complications associated with prolonged ventilation.
Telemedicine has made follow-up care easier, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing doctors and patients to stay in touch through video consultations. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programs and digital diagnostic tools, such as portable spirometers and wearable devices for sleep studies, are also improving patient outcomes. These technological advancements make it easier to manage and treat respiratory conditions effectively, enhancing both patient care and the efficiency of pulmonologists.
Future Aspirations
With extensive experience, Dr Shweta Arora is dedicated to making people feel confident in consulting pulmonologists for better care and preventing serious respiratory diseases. Thus, looking forward, she endeavors to increase awareness about respiratory illnesses in India, particularly in areas like Delhi NCR, where pollution-related health issues are common. She aims to educate the public on conditions like obstructive sleep apnea and lung cancer, encouraging early detection and timely treatment. By highlighting the risks of smoking and promoting screenings like low-dose CT scans, she hopes to help patients seek treatment at earlier stages, improving their outcomes.
